      • She doesn’t have arthritis in her wrist
      • Her pre-menopause symptoms have lessened a LOT
      • She no longer has digestive issues, too!
  • If you don’t have weight to lose, this lifestyle is STILL so beneficial
  • It can help you feel better overall

  • Doctors in med school take things that they learn at face value

BREAD BOWLS

  • Panera serves their already-carby dishes in BREAD bowls
  • Literally carve the bread out of the bowl, put the mac n cheese or chili in the bowl, and put the excess bread on the side
  • This is ridiculous! We have gone on the rails!
    • It used to be a tiny portion of something carby on the side
    • Now the bread is the main entrée
  • You are walking away the loser if you eat that
    • It is SO bad for you
